Summary

Love has, quite unfairly, come to be associated with being happy. But it is, naturally, one of the most reliable routes to misery. The good news is that by understanding our romantic griefs, we will cease to feel so alone. The essay is a guide to a more consoling, humane and in its own way joyful perspective on the complexities of love.
